TOURIST INDUSTRY

"We should not forget our mur- ist industry. The celebrations sur- rounding Chai'lottcthwn's Centenni- al brought many new visitors to the province. Our people did a good public relations job and as a result we can expect more tour- Ilta year after year. The best ad- vertising is the personal and friend- ly touch so evident in Prince Ed- ward island. The tourist industry is fast becoming one of our high revenue producers. Our climate and the hospitality of our people com- bine to guarantee the visitor a re- laxed and enjoyable vacation.

”Prlnco Edward Island can look

confidently to the future. Our farm- ers and fishermen are adopting new and easier methods and at the same time incrreasing their production. A depressed market in one or two products is but a temporary re- cession and does not justify any

son why we cannot. the sale of

"As we move ahead into 1956 it is my desire at this time to wish all citizens of Prince Edward Is- -land a prosperous and happy New Year. May the coming year be one of great achievement in our Province and Dominion. and may we have cause to look forward in hope and confidence that the in- tclligent and honest efforts put forth by the United Nations in the Cause u. Peace will prevail and that i956 will bring us a contin- uance of the many good things that make for our further advance- ment and happiness.

"May Divine Providence attend the deliberations of the United Nat- ions and restore to our troubled and chaotic world Peace and Good will to all Men. May the example of our family of Nations in the British Commonwealth scrve to stimulate similar harmonious ac- cord and good will in the hearts of other World Powers.

"May we continua to receive the

f blessings lavishly be-5 stowed on our Province in the past by a benevolent Providence and may we ever gratefully remember from whence these blessings came.I
